(SPOILER)Drusilla returns to "Buffy".
She'll star in her own five-issue spinoff that takes place "'literally a panel after' Drusilla's final appearance in issue No. 9 of the Angel & Faith comic series" and will be written by Juliet Landau herself.

I knew the fisrt miniseries announcement was coming.In the Buffyfest NYCC interview with Scott Allie,Scott said there were two five issue miniseries planned.The first would launch in June and the second later in season 9.So I knew if the June launch was still the plan that we would be hearing the announcment around the June solicitation or Wonder Con in two weeks.

Dru being the first miniseries is a surprise but a welcome one.And JL writing it a even bigger surprise.I guess this is the cover work Georges Jeanty tweeted about a few weeks back.

I do spend a lot of time wondering why people aren't staking her though. I agree that she is a good character, but there needs to be a sufficient reason why she isn't killed in the Angel series - I don't think there was really a good reason in the Brian Lynch Spike series. I don't really think that Willow would have forgotten that Dru killed Kendra.

Clearly these covers demonstrate that she is still dangerous. I know Spike and Angel feel guilty for what they did to her, but if not kill her, find a way to suppress her.

I know she wrote for at least one another comic previously, but I haven't read it. Can she write? And can she write for comics? Those are not the same thing. Can she do it well? Or is this more of a celebrity stunt thing?

Any opinions? (Because I really would like to read and enjoy a Drusilla-centric comic.)

@BreathesStory, the Dru comics she wrote for IDW were "Co-written" with Brian Lynch, so I can't say how much she wrote and how much he wrote, although Lynch praised her a lot and gave her a lot of credit.

Yay! Drusilla is still one of my favorite vampires (from anything), and the character was very underused after season 2 of Buffy. So it will be great fun to see her again, in her own spinoff. And Juliet writing it is just awesome--I love that she still cares about the character, all these years later.
